None of the exhibits with exception of the 432 and the Lance missile carrier actually worked...everything had to be pulled out manually

Luckily we had a number of retired REME soldiers with us, along with a REME R.S.M

Bit more done over the last few days. I have been trying to source information for some time regarding the B set antenna base bracket, these are few and far between, and many collectors will not share information when it comes to something that can potentially make some money.

After some searching, I managed to locate some drawings, which were short of quite a lot of data ! (Luckily I am used to this now, what with sponsons on K7 being a nightmare)

Using the drawings, known data off my hull, and numerous archive photo's, I was able to backwards engineer the drawings and make a card pattern.

I then transferred this to 16swg steel sheet and cut out with an angle grinder, finishing the edges with a file.

A trip down to BBHQ where I borrowed Aiko's fly press, and BBHQ's sheet bender and I was able to put all the required bends in place.

Here we have it mocked up ready for welding the gusset (or what ever it is best described as) onto the main bracket

I then mig'd the gusset in, a quick shot blast then back to tank HQ for a test fit.

Here we have it mocked onto the hull to obtain the required data for the holes...they were piloted and then drilled out to 10mm.

Once I was happy, I removed the bracket and painted it to match the hull... Let it dry and re fitted.

And here we are ! Technically the junction box bracket and the variometer bracket mounted onto the side of the hull should be painted wrinkle finish brown, but my thoughts are they would have been flashed over in green during re paint sessions.

Ultimately this is what the setup will look like once completed, this carrier resides in Australia
